And die before I’m 60.
Anyway, I’m probably going to slow this posting frenzy (I swear, me being at work makes me the most inefficient I’ve ever been! So this is what it’s like to have a job.) for I will be celebrating my birthday this weekend with the loves of my life (friends from all over are gathering to celebrate with me!). It will be glorious. I will post pictures.
Ciao!
i got to dash right now, but know i return your love because i’m risking tardiness to write to you!
@your comment: LOL (i really did! :D)
we shall discuss the elope-age later. farewell!
i’ve worked in a restaurant where i was very envious of the bartender! it’s just so much fun, talking with people and making funky drinks. we should watch “cocktails” (tom cruise! i still like him, even with all that scientology shit) and then go get our degrees, and then we can perform.
so if you do each of these goals per day, it’ll take less than a year! no problem.
number one is THE BEST (after you edit the bartending one to “watch cocktails, discuss tom cruise, and then bartend with connie,” then it’s second best)
Sounds like Angelina Jolie there :D but I do envy jobs in the UN. It seems incredibly prestigious. I’m in Asia next summer, but not until July since I’ll be in London before that.
You know what, I wonder if your blog would be a chick-lit hit? And outsell Shopaholic..
*AAAHHH!!! But I don’t want to be milked!* (Nor do I have udders come to think of it?)
All of the traveling might be a bit tough, but still manageable. I’ll be waiting for you at whatever university I happen to go to a year from now.
Except for the dying before 60 part, the rest sounds like a great life!
